Georgia from 2023 to 2025 was shaken by protests. At first centered on the law about foreign agents, later they evolved into a large-scale confrontation around elections and the country's European course. These rallies changed the most important thing: now no sane Georgian regards the current government as legitimate, the people do not recogniz e it.
In an exclusive interview with 24 Channel, Miro Vanadz e, president of the "International Assembly of the Georgian People," a fighter of a foreign legion in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and a two-time WGFC world MMA champion, stated that the Georgian government today has no trust among its citizens.
A Maidan could take place in Georgia.
Now, according to the fighter of the foreign legion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the situation in Georgia is such that society is frightened. He explained that people understand that this government is illegitimate and Georgia did not choose such a political course.
The most important thing now is that we, the opposition, must create a unified movement, because, unfortunately, there are several movements that fight among themselves. This also highlights internal pro-Russian movements that try to create destabilization within the opposition. I recently read on Facebook a post by our leader Mikheil Saakashvili, who has been in prison for several years. I think there will be significant changes within several months and a attempt to change the entire political situation in Georgia.
– Vanadz e predicts.
Because even internal collaborators and traitors, as noted by the fighter of the foreign legion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, no longer want to deal with the pro-Russian oligarchy that rules in Georgia. In his words, it is currently impossible to do business in the country without a ‘roof’ and influential surroundings, without crime.
Over the course of half a year there will be a radically different picture in Georgia. This will be to our benefit, because Georgia is a small country, and any challenge, protests by the people create a great deal of noise not only inside it, but neighboring states are watching us as well. Look at how the situation in Armenia has changed. Pashinyan is a historic figure for Armenia. What he did and continues to do was necessary since 2012 year,
– noted Vanadze.
Saakashvili, in his view, made a grave mistake by allowing pro-Russian oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili (political party "Georgian Dream") to participate in elections in Georgia. Because of this, as Vanadze emphasized, Georgia has been experiencing a prolonged period of internal pro-Russian movements.
Take note! Miro Vanadze stated that, in his opinion, within 6 months in Georgia there could be a "great coup," similar to Ukraine’s Maidan.
Reflecting on who could take the role of leader of the opposition forces in the current situation in Georgia, the fighter of the foreign legion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces noted that there is currently no such figure. But he does not rule out that such a leader could appear during the course of the people’s protests.
The most important leader is the will of the Georgian people, who want peace and freedom. This day will surely come. We believe in it one hundred percent,
– summed up Vanadze.
